Let's talk ethics, not law. Why is it okay for these companies to pirate books and scrape the entire web and offer synthesized summaries of all of it, lowering traffic and revenue for countless websites and professions of experts, but it is not okay for others to try to do the same to an AI model?
Is the work of others less valid than the work of a model?
- p1esk 7mo agoI don’t see why it’s not ok to do that to an AI model. Or are you asking why they don’t want you to do it?
- sfn42 7mo agoI don't think anyone's saying it's not okay - I think the point is that Anthropic has every right to create safeguards against it if they want to - just like the people publishing other information are free to do the same. And everyone is free to consume all the free information.

The steelman version is that it's okay to do it once you acquired the data somehow, but that doesn't mean anthropic can't set up roadblocks to frustrate you.
